Our recommended solution is not to use to use MySQL's binaries. They have their own glibc routines statically linked in and an ancient compiler with serious bugs. -- Trond Eivind Glomsrød Red Hat, Inc. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
